LIVE Hull City news and rumours as we digest the Tigers' 5-0 defeat to Derby County in full

Hello and welcome along to today's LIVE Hull City blog where we will have all the news and rumours throughout the day.

The Tigers came a cropper at Derby County last night, a poor display led to a 5-0 loss against Gary Rowett's side at Pride Park.

Matej Vydra punished Ola Aina early on, picking himself up from a foul to drive a powerful freekick into the back of the net.

The game could have been different if Seb Larsson converted his penalty opportunity in the first half but after that the Tigers collapsed conceding three goals in the space of eleven minutes as Derby ran away with the game. Vydra got the second before Curtis Davies and Bradley Johnson made it four.

Johnson got his second in the second half completing the rout as City's woes were compounded.

We'll have all the reaction from the game on the live blog.

Let's have a look at the stats

So where did it all go wrong last night?

Let’s start with possession. Hull City actually enjoyed more of the ball last night than their hosts with 58.1 per cent, but as we all know it’s what you do with the ball that counts and Derby were rewarded for their hard work. With 17 interceptions, compared to City’s six, they broke with pace and precision and City had no answer for it for large parts of the game.

Amazingly despite losing 5-0, City actually had more shots in the game with 18 to Derby’s 15. However, of those just three were on target, that’s one in six, a shoddy return. Compare that to Derby’s near one in two record and you see the problem.
